Thanks Claire
I was tempted to opt for 1500 miles a year, which would have taken my premium down to just £170, but knowing the British weather...
I'm collecting it later today; you won't believe the condition. I may take a pic or two later. Although I post this to be helpful to others in these austere times, the truth is It's hard to get a trusted old car with a good history like mine. It's only had two owners, both were elderly and took great pride in maintaining it. Always kept in a garage too and hardly used. (The car that is, not the owners
)
Her husband nearly died last year but, thankfully, is pulling through. He's due home soon, which is great news for them both, but he'll never drive again sadly. So, as I was saying, I didn't want to rip them off at this hard time. Well, I wouldn't anyway.
You might expect a lot of troubles with old cars but I've got a good feeling about this one and the Micra had an excellent record for reliability. (Good Japanese build quality).
Yep, the leathers are hung up although the weather we've had lately has been like an early Spring
I'm in no doubt its just the calm before the storm though..
It wasn't that long ago, after the clocks went back, I was riding to work on my motorbike looking at ice and frost just inches from my front wheel; on top of which some morons pulled out in front of me because wearing my hi-viz jacket on a bright orange motorbike with four
lights at the front obviously isn't visible enough for some
I don't know how these numptys pass a test!!!
